The
Importance of Liver Flushing by Andreas Moritz
If
you experience major, persisting health problems, either physical or emotional,
your liver may be congested with toxic compounds that are trapped within
deposits of hardened bile (intrahepatic stones). Almost all health conditions,
beauty problems and premature aging are closely linked with declined liver
performance which most often is elusive to blood tests.
Congestion in the bile ducts of the liver undermines the body's effort
to make proper use of the food we eat. This, in turn, may lead to accentuated
expressions of discomfort, including fear, anger, impatience, greed, depression,
dis-ease and cynicism. Cleansing the liver of existing obstructions and
impurities can help restore balance, vitality and happiness in every facet
of your life.
When The Body Complains...
Unlike the stomach, for example, the liver never tells you directly when
it is upset or needs special attention. It does tell you indirectly, though,
when it starts to perform poorly. The following conditions would not occur
if the liver were in optimum shape: skin irritation, weak eyesight, unhealthy
bowel movements, irregular menstrual cycles, recurring headaches, unexplainable
weight gain, loss of energy, sudden aging, elevated cholesterol levels,
most allergies, constricted blood vessels, bloated abdomen, water retention,
gastrointestinal trouble, breathing difficulties, poor memory and concentration,
pain in the joints or elsewhere in the body, brittle bones, and any major
illness such as heart disease, cancer, MS, diabetes or Alzheimer's.
The liver is responsible for processing, converting, distributing and
maintaining the body's fuel supply which consists of nutrients and energy.
Impeding these vital functions not only affects the body's performance
as a whole, but also the health of every single cell. The liver cannot
perform any of these functions properly if its bile ducts are clogged
with deposits of hardened bile or ‘gallstones’ (made of gall
or bile). Gallstones are caused by a number of factors, including the
modern fast pace of living, stress, imbalanced diets, disruptive lifestyle,
use of medical drugs, stimulants and alcohol, and ingestion of chemical
poisons, such as food additives and artificial sweeteners. Bile duct congestion
results in major impairment of digestive functions, thereby reducing the
nutrient supply to the trillions of cells in the body. This makes gallstones
in the liver to be a major cause of physical and emotional illness.
The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush
The liver flush mentioned in this context is a straightforward, safe and
painless do-it-yourself procedure using apple juice (or malic acid), olive
oil, citrus juice and Epsom salts to dispel gallstones from both the liver
and the gallbladder.
The actual liver flush takes place within a period of less than fourteen
hours and can be taken conveniently over a weekend at home. Although the
liver flush is very easy to do, it is important to understand the process
and follow all of the directions precisely. Since introducing the liver
cleanse to hundreds and thousands of patients in the 1990s, I have received
countless testimonies expressing total amazement about the fast and profound
healing effects it produces. They encouraged me to write a book on the
subject. The book, The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush, includes the
exact procedure and necessary background information for conducting this
simple, yet most profound cleanse. Today, the liver and gallbladder flush
has helped restore the health of thousands of people in all parts of the
world.
Gallstones in the Liver - The Most Common Cause of Illness
An estimated 20% of the world's population will develop gallstones in
their gallbladder at some stage in their lives; many of them will opt
for surgical removal of this important organ. This statistical figure
does not account, though, for the many more people who will develop gallstones
(or already have them) in their liver. During thirty-five years of practicing
natural medicine and dealing with thousands of people suffering from all
types of chronic diseases, I can attest to the fact that each one of them,
without exception, has had considerable quantities of gallstones in his
or her liver. Surprisingly, only relatively few of them reported to have
had a history of gallstones in their gallbladder. Gallstones in the liver
are the main impediment to acquiring and maintaining good health, youthfulness,
and vitality. Gallstones in the liver are, indeed, one of the major reasons
people become ill and have difficulty recuperating from illness.
Medicine's Most Unfortunate Oversight
Many people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder.
This is a commonly made, yet, false assumption. Most gallstones are actually
formed in the liver, and comparatively few occur in the gallbladder. You
can easily verify this assessment by giving yourself a liver flush. It
matters little whether you are a layperson, a medical doctor, a scientist,
or someone whose gallbladder was removed and, therefore, is believed to
be stone free. The results of the liver flush speak for themselves. No
amount of scientific proof or medical explanation can make these any more
valuable than they already are. Once you see hundreds of green, beige-colored,
brown, or black gallstones floating in the toilet bowl during your first
liver flush, you will intuitively know that you are on to something very
important in your life.
I am repeatedly asked the intriguing question - why is there only little
or no reference in mainstream medicine to the occurrence of gallstones
in the liver? Standard clinical tests almost never reveal the occurrence
of gallstones in the liver. In fact, most doctors don't even know they
grow there. Only some of the most advanced research universities, such
as the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, describe and illustrate these
liver stones in their literature or on their web sites. They refer to
them as ‘intrahepatic gallstones.’ The failure to recognise
and accept the incidence of gallstone formation in the liver as an extremely
common phenomenon may very well be the most unfortunate oversight that
has ever been made in the field of medicine, both orthodox and complementary.
Relying so heavily on blood tests for diagnostic purposes, as conventional
medicine does, may actually be a great disadvantage with regard to assessing
liver health. Most people who have a physical complaint of one kind or
another may show to have perfectly normal liver enzyme levels in the blood,
despite suffering from liver congestion. Liver congestion is among the
leading health problems, yet conventional medicine rarely refers to it,
nor do doctors have a reliable way to detect and diagnose such a condition.
Liver enzyme levels in the blood become elevated only when there is advanced
liver cell destruction, as is the case, for example, in hepatitis or liver
inflammation. Liver cells contain large amounts of enzymes. Once a certain
number of liver cells are ruptured, their enzymes will start showing up
in the blood. When detected through a blood test, this increased count
of liver enzymes indicates abnormal liver functions. However, in such
an event, the damage has already occurred. It takes many years of chronic
liver congestion before liver damage becomes apparent.
It is apparent that unless there is a specific liver disease, this vital
organ is rarely considered a ‘culprit’ for other diseases. The
majority of gallstones in the liver consist of the same ‘harmless’
constituents as are found in liquid bile, with cholesterol being the main
ingredient. A number of stones consist of fatty acids and other organic
material that has ended up in the bile ducts. The fact that the majority
of these stones are just congealed clumps of bile or organic matter makes
them practically ‘invisible’ to x-rays, ultrasonic technologies,
and Computer Tomography (CT).
The situation is different with regard to the gallbladder, where up to
about 20 percent of all stones can be made-up entirely of minerals, predominantly,
calcium salts and bile pigments. Whereas diagnostic tests can easily detect
these hardened, relatively large stones in the gallbladder, they tend
to miss the softer, non-calcified stones in the liver. Only when excessive
amounts of cholesterol-based stones (85-95% cholesterol) or other clumps
of fat block the bile ducts of the liver, may an ultrasound test reveal
what is generally referred to as ‘fatty liver.’ In such a case,
the ultrasound pictures reveal a liver that is almost completely white
(instead of black). A fatty liver can gather up to 20,000 stones before
it succumbs to suffocation and ceases to function.
If you had a fatty liver and went to the doctor, he would tell you that
you had excessive fatty tissue in your liver. It is less likely, though,
that he would tell you that you had intrahepatic gallstones (stones obstructing
the liver's bile ducts). As mentioned before, most of the smaller stones
in the liver are not detectable through ultrasound or Computer axial Tomography
(CT).
Nevertheless, careful analysis of diagnostic images by specialists would
show whether some of the smaller bile ducts in the liver were dilated
because of obstruction. A dilation of bile ducts caused by larger and
denser stones or by clusters of stones may be detected more readily through
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, unless there is an indication
of major liver trouble, doctors rarely check for such intrahepatic stones.
Unfortunately, although the liver is one of the most important organs
in the body, its disorders are also under-diagnosed all too often.
Even if the early stages of a fatty liver or gallstone formation in the
bile ducts were easily recognised and diagnosed, today's medical facilities
offer no treatments to relieve this vital organ of the heavy burden it
has to carry.
On the other hand, a qualified iridologist, an Ayurvedic physician or
a natural health practitioner who knows the signs and indications of gallstones
in the liver and gallbladder, can easily determine the extent of gallstone
formation in these organs. [Such indicators are listed in the book The
Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush.] Most people in the civilised world
have gallstones. But even in alternative or complementary medicine, there
is rarely mention of an effective therapy that can actually remove gallstones
safely and without pain.
Gallstones are a direct product of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. If
gallstones are still present in the liver even after all other disease-causing
factors are eliminated, they pose a considerable health risk and may lead
to illness and premature aging. By removing these stones, the body as
a whole is able to resume its normal, healthy activities.
Reaping the Benefits
People with chronic illnesses often have several thousand gallstones congesting
the bile ducts of the liver. Some stones may have also grown in the gallbladder.
By removing these stones from these organs through a series of liver flushes
and maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle, the liver and gallbladder
can restore their original efficiency, and most symptoms of discomfort
or disease in the body can start subsiding. You may find that any persistent
allergies will lessen or disappear. Back pain will dissipate, while energy
and well-being will improve. Ridding the liver bile ducts from gallstones
is one of the most important and powerful procedures you can apply to
improve and regain your health.
Sweeping the liver clean eliminates thousands of bits of poisonous substances
that have helped form the stones that block thousands of liver bile ducts.
Cleansing the liver bile ducts from gallstones is one of the most important
and powerful procedures that can help you regain or improve your health
and happiness. By reopening the bile ducts, the body's energy circuits
become restored and healing can take place on all levels of body, mind
and spirit.
